Braxton Hicks

I've been getting them for two or three days in a row. Normal or not? I'm 28 weeks.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and with all of mine I started getting them around 13 weeks. They are normal just as long as your not having more than 6 an hour!

Yes its normal I've had them every single day since I was 17 weeks! I went into L&D once because I had 8 in an hour and she told me they were just practice contractions and they were normal

I'm glad I could help! Mine aren't as painful since I've been over dosing on water lol. I never had them with my first baby either.

I had them at 35 weeks and went to the hospital. They didn't keep me because they said I was just dehydrated and needed to drink lots of water! At least 8 water bottles a day.

Damn, it actually could be dehydration..I don't drink as much water as I should. Thanks, that really helped me out! I just always think I'm gonna go into pre term labor when I have those pains...it's gotten to the point where they're not uncomfortable, they're legitimatly painful. :( I never had those pains with my daughter..

I get them too and I'm only 25 weeks 5 days =/ they don't hurt though. At first i thought it was just the baby rolling, but then i started feeling my tummy and the entire thing gets hard. It shouldn't happen more than a few times a day. I got 8 in 3 hours and called my Dr. he said that i needed to drink as much water as i could because it could be dehydration. I won't know more until October 8 =/
